Mo started out trading bow ties as a kid on the playground and eventually began his own company at age nine. His mom and grandmother helped him sew the bowties and launched his website. Soon, stores in Memphis, Tennessee wanted his accessories too.

Since then, Mo has become superfamous and he has appeared on ‘The Steve Harvey Show’, ‘Today Show’, ‘Oprah Magazine’ and when he went to ‘Shark Tank’, he made such a big impression on Daymond John, he personally offered to become his mentor.

Mo’s Bows are so epic, he even created and personally presented President Barack Obama with the “Obama Blue” bowtie. He also was a fashion correspondent for the 2015 NBA draft.
